just reading thai visa news, three new species of CHIGGERS found on rodents.never ever heard these mites been mentioned before.

so is this something else we have to watch out for on our pets.looking up on google they previously only attacked humans.

Calm down,Meatboy. When you keep a rat as pet, then you can worry.

so thats what they look like,a right sucker.

Don't worry, they actually skin and cook the rodents before they are served! Opps, I thought that this was the Thai food forum.

our mooban gets a lot of rats in the drainage pipes,i have covered the drain holes with wire about 12 altogether but as soon as the wire gets rusty they will gnaw through it.our dog lets us know if there.s one about he has a very good sense of smell.only ever saw one of those big ones that are eaten,he didnt get far in our garden before our boy administered its last rights.

i would like to see what these gritters are like [no not mp's].
